Abstract excerpt
Rapid identification of specific TEM-type β-lactamase genes in bacterial infections is important for determining appropriate clinical treatment. We report here the design and initial testing of a molecular diagnostic assay capable of amplifying a large segment of the blaTEM gene, as well as detecting widely spaced extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) mutations and inhibitor-resistant TEM (IRT) mutations (eg,...
